Looks like we had two small DOS bots attacking us. We are continuing to investigate, for now - our speed is back.

Might as well. A woman being this difficult isn't something I want anyway.

Well, Gip, when you think of it, a woman, ANY woman, has a server that goes down about 20-25% of the time.

It's just something you learn to deal with.

Thanks so much for fixing this so quickly. It began last night around 7:30ish. I've seen forums down for days when this crap happens... not that I have a clue what a DOS bot is, but I hope y'all are able to track down whoever was responsible.
 
Surprise!!!!!!

This was the forum's adorable way of telling members to get out of the basement and enjoy the sunshine.

It is raining here and has been for the last week. I prefer being inside when it rains. Besides having a tan at Comifest is embarrassing.

Sunshine? The sunshine out here is 105° and humid. The only ones enjoying it are the vultures.

DoS stands for "denial of service." Basically, the program would access the server to the point that it cannot handle all of the requests and then fails to work. It's a popular tactic among Anonymous and inexperienced hackers, since there are programs available that will do it for you.

My guess is that it is either some immature trolls looking to cause chaos, or someone with a vendetta against this site. A banned user, perhaps?
